The vehicles also varied in size and complexity, from the small Roton with its rotating saw blade, to the large, battery operated, walking Spydor. The largest and most expensive play set was the “ Eternia”, which is today the most sought-after play set in the Masters of the Universe toy line. The play sets, vehicles, and creatures came in various sizes and price ranges, and many of them had one or more action features. Mattel not only re-used action figure parts to create new figures for the series, but they also used figure molds from other toy lines to make creatures like He-Man's trusted companion, the tiger Battle Cat and the falcon Zoar. As the toy series progressed, more new molds were created and integrated into the toy line, but both body parts and accessories were often used multiple times for different figures. The action figures' parts were subsequently mixed-and-matched in different colors for new figures.

Released alongside the action figures were also many vehicles, creatures, play sets, and a number of accessory packs. In some cases, certain figures were packed and sold together as a gift set or versus set. The back of the card backer had pictures and names of other Masters of the Universe figures available at the time. Many of them also came with removable plastic armor. Each figure came with a mini-comic as well as one or more accessories, such as weapons, staffs, and shields. The action figures were in most cases sold separately and packed individually with a transparent, plastic clam-shell on a cardboard backer.
